I should be getting several Flip video cameras in time to try them out with my summer school class of Beginning English Language Learners. In preparation, I went looking for some resources that might help me get prepared for using them.

The first section deals with the mechanics of using them, while the second relates to ideas on how to use them in the classroom.

Here are my picks for The Best Sources For Advice On Using Flip Video Cameras:

Since I’m fairly incompetent technologically, I found some good sites that provide step-by-step instructions:

Am in England at the moment and decided to buy a Flip camera as they do not sell them at home (in Thailand) and Amazon will not ship electronics to Thailand.

After some online research I decided just to buy from one of the local high street shops. But the top of the range HD 4GB 1hour was not in stock so decided to buy online (Amazon UK) and have it have sent to my temp UK address.

Fortunately a review comment on amazon.co.uk mentioned that a new 8GB 2 hour HD had been released in the USA.

So off I went to Amazon USA (amazon.com) …. and there was the new model …. cheaper than the 4GB model even when including import tax to UK.

So I ordered from USA … the model not yet available in the UK … at a price cheaper than the older UK model …. and it arrived in 56 hours.

So glad to see this out on the twitter-sphere today. We’ve been shooting with our Flips for about a week and I was beginning to look for resources today for editing and dealing with the incoming gigs! Thanks for another great collection!

What a great article compiling all these helpful resources into one place!

For educators looking to get multiple Flip cameras for their classrooms at a great price, Digital Wish has partnered with Flip to offer two Flip cameras for the price of one ($150)! They also offer campaign ideas and teacher submitted lesson plans for how to obtain and utilize technology in the classroom.

More information on this offer and other helpful educational tools can be found at digitalwish.org. Hope this helps more teachers and classrooms connect with this awesome educational tool!

Thanks for the post. I love flip video cameras and I’ve been using them for a while, both for personal and educational use. But I recently got a Sony Bloggie camera. The Bloggie it’s cheaper than a Flip and with many more features that would be very useful for a class environment.
